Sarah Silverman offers to ‘scissor’ Sheldon Adelson for Obama

Comedian Sarah Silverman, known for her off-color humor and her 2008 work with “The Great Schlep” to encourage young Jewish voters to visit their grandparents in Florida to convince them to vote for Obama, is back with what she terms an “indecent” proposal for billionaire Republican donor Sheldon Adelson. Adelson, who first backed former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-GA) in the Republican primary, has offered former Governor Mitt Romney (R-MA) up to $100 million to help his campaign.

Silverman’s counter-offer: if Adelson will give that money to President Obama, she’ll engage in a certain sexual act with him.

“Well, I won’t have sex with you,” Silverman says to Adelson, “because we’re not married and I’m a nice girl.” Instead, Silverman proposes to “scissor” with Adelson while “wearing a bikini bottom, through to fruition.” For those who don’t quite understand what Silverman means to perform with Adelson, she then demonstrates the position with a small dog.
